I've been using Rat X and am convinced it doesn't actually kill them, currently just have snap traps in place.

However, you must have reasonable limits and hold to them.I give a great example in my book where a tenant abandoned a 2,000-square-foot home full of nice furniture, expensive jewelry, a brand-new $2,000 rifle still in the box, etc.

It makes lead management way more efficient since they get to focus on people who actually want to do business.

Is that a reasonable assumption?

Most real estate agents actually do not have the need to go into an office to close transactions and meet clients at either a natural location or at the properties they are showing or listing. 

And, know this: the #1 reason why landlords fail is their failure to manage to the lease. 

I had the initial call with a PadSplit sales person, but I wanted to talk to somebody who's actually doing it to get their perspective and advice.

Maybe the reason you disagree with the dollars is that you are comparing a cash on cash rate of return with actual dollars.

There are the obvious pros/cons of a duplex but then there are the non-obvious ones that come with being in Detroit.I actually have a fantastic article about this I can share but I'm unable to link to it in this post.
